Autumn's, veil, misty,
Intrigue prowls-horror’s echo,
Halloween's chill creeps.

Masked-truth’s cleaver guise,
Secrets whisper ‘mongst shadows,
Fear stalks-night’s cruel jest....

Pilot daydreaming

Head in clouds

Lost bearings



Forgot parachute

Now playing

Harp

With angels

Cletus O'Toole was a whiz 'mongst streakers

   And the darling of 'exposure'-seekers

      He was a down-right nuisance

         But due to cops' impuissance*

            He raced 'round town in just socks and sneakers

*Inability to act...

Although brandishing clandestine discoveries
everyone figured geographically
how intertwined 
Jeremiah Kline
lived 'mongst native 
opiate producers.
Queer results 
speculatively tarnished understanding,
validifying worshiper,

A valentine be childish not
'Tween lovers or 'mongst friends
For rebirth of the kindness brought
Does truly mend past rents.

So as I pass the days near you
With freshness in my dreams
I know from grays come skies of blue
Like seasons' change it seems....

Waltzing ‘mongst the redwoods she now meanders
Shyly smiling, candid in guileless virtue
Feeling carefree, gleeful, of threats unwary...
Progress encroaches.

  Under the cool Summer’s rain

      fluttering as if a dryad’s 
                  pixie
    ‘mongst the Oak and fern
       cooling from the heat
            and beaming 
                    me

              eve’s ballet
          turned tremulous
            ‘pon mine me...

'Neath the moonlit skies I walk alone 
Hearing echoed voices 'mongst the breeze 
Ghostly spirits chill my bone 
Yielding shakes so bend my knees 
Gallant breaths spill a tone 
Through moonlit skies 'bove the trees

Oh, God and Goddess are all around us.
from place to place unguided, 
they’ve found us.

Land of limpid eyes and skies, 
where mystery abounds.
‘Mongst lisping lips, oft heard 
Gaelic limericks sound. 

While gale gusted winds whip wave 
dashed waters to mist;
atop the high cliffs of Moher 
the Fairie found us....

All the hearted people 'mongst the human race 
Pretty soon there won't be enough space 
People running place to place 
Scared of what they'll face 
Why's there war? 
Grace 
War- no more! 
Love- we must embrace 
Evil doer's we must chase 
Hold the leather and denote the lace 
All the hearted people 'mongst the human race...

A time capsule was uncovered in Olde Boston the other day.

   'Twas found in the Statehouse cornerstone, so they say.

      'Twas placed there by patriots Samuel Adams and Paul Revere.

         'Mongst other things found were three jugs of Samuel Adams Beer!

My pumpkins have gone mad
I'm completely inundated
My desire for pumpkin dishes
Will be well and truly sated

They've taken over the garden 
And taken over the lawn 
I can't find the compost bin 
Or where I planted corn 

Nestled 'mongst the vines 
A bumper crop is on the way 
I better find my soup pot 
And get ready for the fray!...

time fades us all like old parchment,
till it becomes personality time,
the prettiest thorn mongst the roses
wilt have you a laughing just fine
Don


it all comes down to the inner voice,
your spirit onboard has the choice,
to be a grumpy Mole,
or enjoy being old,
personality is the force,
who rides upon your horse,
where laughter doth unfold......

Tender streams the night 
flames a flicker filled delight 
fresh  a yellow painted rose 
held in perfect sweet repose 


Oh my sun, my precious sun 
your warmth breathes long 
hidden 'mongst a subtle guise 
filling out a summer's day 


Lunar leaps an oval face 
stealing rays of saving grace 
languid pains a vision lost 
heart lie still  a tempest tossed...

high above in cyber skies
‘cross a wide expanse
friendship blooms to their surprise
in a world of chance

heavens host as spirits meet
‘mongst the clouds above
breezes blowing soft and sweet
on this night of love

up amongst the stars so bright
shining in her eyes
spirits touch and take to flight
in the cyber skies

We will be together once again;
Lining mongst heaven’s host;
Meet in the spirit;
Presently future tense terrific;
Hallelujah;
Eventually in a little while;
Meet in the spirit;
In a short, short while;
While all the while in a twinkling of an eye;
Meet in the spirit;
We’re be together again ;
Meet in the spirit;

Lady Tara rolls the dice

Lady Tara tolls the bell,
Mongst  demons of the Buddist hell
Greed and avarice of the psyche
Tibetan wheels do mortals strike,
And greed is sure to tell,
Pointless mortal avarice,
Does dwell,
But not in paradise:}
Just hell,
Go get yeself a slice:{
The greedy buggered well,
Try it once or twice,
Till ego rings the bell,
Compliance rolls the dice….

The “Druggie” Down The Street
By: Miracle Man
4/21/2022

Oft times the thoughts he’d have caused him to fret,
and he’d sit ‘mongst wandering thoughts in deep regret.

But things long since passed he could not change,
so facts of these occurrences he’d always rearrange.

I lectured him on truthfulness and then he’d never later deny,
the response I got was, “I guess some people just like to lie”

Heavens Gate
Written: By Tom Wright
7/30/03

When life's trail seems filled with stubble,
and water about you is pitched and rough.
Search for answers not 'mongst the rubble,
for there, exist days most filled with fluff.

In God's Holy Word is no promise made,
that your chosen path be smooth, but straight.
In life, compromise not, or for pleasure trade,
for Christ is the key that opes Heavens Gate.

Today, I sit 'mongst thoughts of erstwhile sorrows,
Which intermittently ooze from my intellect's hub;
Reminiscing three young men granted no tomorrows,
Bequeathing displeasing whispers I'd like to scrub.

Reopened today, are aggrieves, from past years,
In seemingly blameless doings they were caught;
Causing a mother's eyes to be ensconced with tears
Exposed was man's detriment to sin's onslaught.


in memory of three young men from my town....
